3.2 TRAINING DELIVERY

The delivery of training should adhere to the design of the curriculum. Delivery should be guided by the 10 basic principles of competency-based TVET.

The training is based on curriculum developed from the competency standards;

Learning is modular in its structure; Training delivery is learner-centered and should accommodate individualized

and self-paced learning strategies; Training is based on work that must be performed; Training materials are directly related to the competency standards and the

curriculum modules; Assessment is based in the collection of evidence of the performance of work

to the industry required standard; Training is based both on and off the job components; Allows for recognition of prior learning (RPL) or current competencies Training allows for multiple entry and exit; and Approved training programs are Nationally Accredited.

The competency-based TVET system recognizes various types of delivery modes,

both on and off-the-job as long as the learning is driven by the competency standards specified by the industry. The following training modalities may be adopted when designing training programs:

The dualized mode of training delivery is preferred and recommended. Thus programs would contain both in-school and in-industry training or fieldwork components. Details can be referred to the Dual Training System (DTS) Implementing Rules and Regulations.

Modular/self-paced learning is a competency-based training modality wherein the trainee is allowed to progress at his own pace. The trainer facilitates the training delivery

Peer teaching/mentoring is a training modality wherein fast learners are given the opportunity to assist the slow learners.

Supervised industry training or on-the-job training is an approach in training designed to enhance the knowledge and skills of the trainee through actual experience in the workplace to acquire specific competencies prescribed in the training regulations.

Distance learning is a formal education process in which majority of the instruction occurs when the students and instructor are not in the same place. Distance learning may employ correspondence study, or audio, video or computer technologies.

Project-Based Instruction is an authentic instructional model or strategy in which students plan, implement and evaluate projects that have real world applications.

3.3 TRAINEE ENTRY REQUIREMENTS

This section specifies the qualifications of trainees and educational experience. Other requirements like health and physical requirements are also stated. Passing entry written examinations may also be indicated if necessary.

face of some imminent danger. It is an order issued by the Master or a delegated person in command. It is usually the last resort after all other mitigating actions have failed.

2. Aground resting on or touching the ground or bottom (usually involuntarily).

3. Azimuth of an object is its bearing from the observer measured as an angle clockwise from true north.

4. Bearing the horizontal direction of a line of sight between two objects on the surface of the earth.

5. Bridge a structure above the weather deck, extending the full width of the vessel, which houses a command center, itself called by association, the bridge.

6. Bridge wing an open-air extension of the bridge to port or starboard, intended for use in signaling.

7. Boxing the compass to state all 32 points of the compass, starting at north, proceeding clockwise. Sometimes applied to a wind that is constantly shifting.

8. Cardinal referring to the four main points of the compass: north, south, east and west.

9. Compass navigational instrument showing the direction of the vessel in relation to the Earth's geographical poles or magnetic poles. Commonly consists of a magnet aligned with the Earth's magnetic field, but other technologies have also been developed, such as the gyro compass.

10. Conn to direct a ship or submarine from a position of command

11. Constant bearing, Decreasing range

(CBDR) when two ship’s are approaching each other from any angle and this angle remains the same over time (constant bearing) they are on a collision course.

12. Distress Signal an international signal used by a distressed ship or aircraft to request help, as by radio broadcasts, flags, or flares

13. EPIRB emergency position-indicating radio beacon 14. Gyro compass a mechanical indicator of the direction of the true (geographic)

meridian, designed for determining the course of an object, as well as the azimuth (bearing) of the direction of orientation.


15. Helm Order command ordered by the pilot or officers in charge top helmsman in steering the ship.

16. Look out a seaman stationed in the forecastle, crow’s nest or bridge wings for the purpose of maintaining watchful eye for any lights, land or floating objects that may have in sight or reporting such to officer of the watch

17. Lubber's line a vertical line inside a compass case indicating the direction of the ship's head.

18. Magnetic bearing an absolute bearing using magnetic north.

19. Point a unit of bearing equal to one thirty-second of a circle, i.e., 11.25°. A turn of 32 points is a complete turn through 360°

20. Radar acronym for Radio Detection And Ranging. An electronic system designed to transmit radio signals and receive reflected images of those signals from a "target" in order to determine the bearing and distance to the "target".

21. Relative bearing bearing relative to the direction of the ship: the clockwise angle between the ship's direction and an object.

22. SART search and rescue transponder

23. Steerageway the minimum speed at which a vessel will answer the helm, below which she cannot be steered.
